12. Three bad reasons to innovate
To make your product unique
To latch on to a fad
To show off your creativity

Your solution looks like something you also
did last week
80. Do we have a digital revolution?
Do we have disruptive innovation?

85. My goal this morning is to give you:
a better, actionable definition of innovation
“Innovation is a planned activity that addresses a latent
or acknowledged problem, often combining two or
more well-established technologies.”
a process that leads to business success
Do your research
Identify real problems
Think about how your solution will affect
technological, social, and political issues
some practical do’s and don’ts
Don’t invent problems
Don’t succumb to designer ego
86. “Whenever you hear ‘someone
might want this…’, you know
you are about to hear a really
bad design suggestion.”
Alan Cooper
87. “It’s amazing how much we can
accomplish when you don’t care
who gets the credit.”
Harry S. Truman
